A woman who was among five other pedestrians has died after being hit by a car on Tuesday.

The group was struck by a red Fiat 500 on Church Street in Malvern, West Mids, at around midday. 

Two other victims remain in hospital with non life-threatening injuries, police said. 

Three more pedestrians suffered minor injuries which did not require hospital treatment.

The motorist stayed at the scene and is assisting officers with its investigation into the cause of the collision. No arrests have been made at this time.

Sergeant Liam Bennet, who is leading the investigation, said: “This is a tragic incident and our thoughts are with the family of the lady who has died.

“We’re working hard to understand what happened and how the car came to mount the pavement and strike the pedestrians.  

“While our investigation continues I would ask people to avoid speculating about what happened.”
